Tonight is the big benefit event for Fergie, and I just want to reflect a little bit on this event.

It’s only 28 days ago that Fergie’s true friend, Mike Woodley decided to do this event for his friend. I am overwhelmed by the affection and love from Mike, his wife Wendy, family and friends towards Fergie. It just truly shows what kind of man Fergie is, but also what his friends are made of. This night is to be a celebration of Fergie, and even though there is a dark bakground to it all, I am very sure Fergie will appreciate this night with friends to his fullest capacity.

My heart bleeds for the fact that I can’t be there myself tonight, but I will be thinking of you all, of course my friend Fergie the most, I have loved every minute of supporting you over all these years, my wish and hope is that you get to have as long time with us as possible.

Now also Barry Goudreau of Boston will be supporting Fergie on his benefit show July 18.

This is now a true proof of how much Fergie have affected people, and we now have Barry, John Cafferty, Fran Cosmo, Jim Peterik, Jimi Jamison, Alex Ligertwood and Mike Reno, together with Fergie himself.

For such a tough time, it’s good to see more friends of Fergie joining in on this.
